Is Jokic’s playmaking overrated? (alien.top)

Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.

10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.

He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.

Assists aren’t the only way to measure playmaking.

He consistently manipulates defenses to create openings for people and uses his size and vision to create passing opportunities that simply wouldn’t exist otherwise.

His understanding of defenses and the repertoire of moves he uses to move defenders into the position he wants them to be in is unmatched for someone his size, not even mentioning his hyper-efficient scoring and excellent rebounding and overall positioning. He’s not just making fancy passes dude
